à Use the “if” and “then” strategy. Example: “If you get up late, then you’ll be late for school.” (Read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and The Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate the Wash)
à Demonstrate cause and effect actively - push down the first domino in a row, build a too-high tower and watch it fall, pour too much water in a cup. Then, suggest some other causes and have kids predict the effects. What would you expect would happen if I hop with a book on my head? Write my name with my eyes closed? Make it fun and silly, then move into more serious scenarios.
